Starting pitching is a topic that worries most Orioles fans, but that might not be a problem too much longer. The Orioles' farm clubs are starting the 2009 season this week, and most of them are loaded with talented starters who could play a role with the big club in the near future. Patience is the key as team officials have repeatedly stated they don't want to rush these pitchers. "We want them to get their feet on the ground and get a solid foundation," said David Stockstill, the team's director of player development.

Despite the presence of several young relievers with potential in the system, a 35-year-old journeyman who pitched for the Bowie Baysox earned the top spot in my list. That's right, I think Julio Manon had the finest statistics in the organization. Manon led the Eastern League with 32 saves and he was one of the main reasons that Bowie made the playoffs for the first time since 1997. He had 80 strikeouts and a 3.39 ERA in 63 2/3 innings. That doesn't mean Manon has any potential to help the Orioles in the future.

BOSTON - Orioles outfielder Lou Montanez checked the Double-A box scores yesterday afternoon and got the news that he was hoping to see. Akron's Wes Hodges didn't drive in any runs, leaving him with 97 RBIs. Erie's Ryan Roberson didn't have any home runs, leaving him with 25 for the season. That combination allowed Montanez to clinch the Eastern League Triple Crown despite not having played for the Bowie Baysox since Aug. 4. Montanez became just the fifth Triple Crown winner in Eastern League history and the first since 1976, when Danny Thomas did it for the Berkshire Brewers.

What do pitching and real estate have in common? To be successful in each, it mostly depends on the same thing: location, location, location. For Bowie Baysox right-hander David Hernandez, that axiom couldn't be more appropriate. Already equipped with an arsenal that includes a two- and four-seam fastball, slider and a major-league changeup, the 23-year-old has taken his game to another level this season by focusing more on the location of his pitches, beginning with his fastball. "He's shown great command lately," Baysox pitching coach Mike Griffin said.

Three members of the Double-A Bowie Baysox have been chosen to participate in this week's Eastern League All-Star Game in Norwich, Conn., including right-hander Radhames Liz, the first pitcher in franchise history to throw a complete-game no-hitter at Prince George's Stadium. Liz, selected by fans to Wednesday night's game, will be joined by outfielder Val Majewski and third baseman Oscar Salazar. One of the top pitching prospects in the Orioles' organization, Liz leads Bowie with 101 strikeouts in 17 games and is 6-4 with a 3.73 ERA, lowest among Baysox starters.
